Tablet POS for Restaurants
A Restaurant Tablet POS (Point of Sale) system frees your from the more rigid traditional POS that remains locked within the confines of a few fixed computer stations. Tablet POS systems for restaurants places the power directly in the hands of your staff and customers – wherever they may be! In addition to transporting your restaurant immediately and powerfully into the modern technology space, Tablet POS usage gives you the support of portability, speed, and the ultimate in restaurant POS flexibility. Now you can streamline operations and add kiosk tablets and guest-facing tablets onto your existing point of sale platform – all integrated quickly and seamlessly.
Tablet POS for Restaurants Improves Service, Speed & Quality
Without question, upgrading to mobile tablets provides a faster and more efficient solution for your servers. Each restaurant server’s Tablet POS is portable, eliminating the need for staff to wait to enter their orders on a stationary POS system. This means servers can now enter orders tableside, freeing up more time for them to interact with your guests and efficiently deliver orders to the table – and less time stopping by the POS machine in the hallway.
Reduced Overhead Costs with a Tablet POS for your Restaurant
Older restaurant POS systems typically come with unexpected tack-on services and fees that can add up quick. That’s because older equipment comes with a lot of moving parts that are expensive and often difficult to replace. With more modern systems, hardware is readily available in stores like Apple or Best Buy – and comes at a fraction of the cost of your outdated old machines.
Faster Table Turns & More Throughput
Restaurant operators today face many challenges, including rising costs in labor, food, and brick-and-mortar expenses. These are traditionally the three largest expenses for a restaurant – and the cost-noose gets a bit tighter every day. Tablet POS implementation in your restaurant helps to increase the number of table turns, thereby increasing the throughput of the restaurant. This means more money and higher revenue – without damaging the experience at the restaurant. In fact, your customer’s overall experience is almost certain to improve with Tablet POS introduction.
